is it over yet?!
nope, not quite. the holidays aren't my favorite favorite time of the year (i'm no grinch, but its just not my fav time) and this year has been a roller coaster. my first christmas at my new house, hosting both sides of our family- cooked a meal for 12 people, the biggest meal i've ever cooked. and all my family is here. just a little crazy.
i had a good christmas though, and the meal went well- although i did under cook the green beans a bit (but hey, i like them crispy)
my best friend, who's 25th bday was on christmas day, who was my maid of honor and we've been best friends since 2nd grade, her grandmother passed away at midnight christmas morning. she was 92 years old, and lived life to the fullest! she was still volunteering and going to the symphany, and christmas eve night she went to the annual xmas eve party in her sparkly valentino skirt. it was pretty sudden, and i wasn't expecting to hear that news when i called to wish her a happy birthday and a merry christmas. mrs. bader was like another grandma to me, i saw her more than my own grandmas growing up. so i was really sad. a lot of my friends, and husbands, grandparents have been passing away in the past few months. i guess we're at that age, and its the circle of life, but its sad.
sorry for the sad post
but i do have happy news too
i got my first 2 clients today for the preschool! two little girls, maddie-3 and jillian- 18 months. they start on january 18th. 2 days a week, so thats $432 a month that i desperately need! so i'mm super happy about that.
i don't ahve time to put up all the pics i want to, cause my little cousin is visiting adn we're goign to go see chronicles of narnia, then tonight i'm going to a gift exchange party, then tomorrow we're going bolwing, then i'm driving him back up to orange county, then thursday is the holiday bowl, then friday we have family friends coming for brunch, then i'm cooking and getting ready for new years eve, then its new years eve and i'm going to drink lots of champagne! (new years is defiently my fav of the "holidays" during holiday season. just dress up and drink and celebrate? i'mm there!) so anwyas, needless to say its not over yet. hopefully i'll post some pics soon!
happy tuesday all. : )
